Enough of the babble. Enough of the “anyone can win on any given day.” Enough of the game-seven anaylsis. Can Orlando beat Boston? Who cares? Neither of them are beating Lebron. And do you really think the Lakers are going to lose to Houston, at home, in a game seven? Please. It won’t happen. The... Read More »

In my last blog, I covered Randy Johnson, and his struggle towards 300 games. Another ancient lefty, Jamie Moyer, is stumbling towards his next milestone as well. As a 16 game winner in ’08, Moyer was far and away the most productive over-forty pitcher during the ’08 campaign. However, ’09 hasn’t been as kind to... Read More »

As April turns to May, there are several interesting story lines playing themselves out in the baseball world. Besides Zack Greinke being the best pitcher on the planet, and Heath Bell (yeah, he’s a Padre) leading the majors in saves, there are a few other things for fans to keep in mind. 1.       The longer Toronto...

I know one day (or actually two) shouldn’t take away from four months of work, but the ACC embarrassed itself greatly in the last 48 hours. All season, we heard how the Big East might be the best conference ever, but ACC pundits, and the increasilngly questionable RPI had the Atlantic Coast Conference as the... Read More »

Let’s go back to a topic I posted a couple days ago, which got many responses, most of which similar in nature. I suggested the Ravens strongly consider signing Terrell Owens, and people came at me with such things as “The thin Pennsylvania air is getting to you,” and “I’d like to have some of... Read More »

Tell me he’s not exactly what the Ravens need on the field: a big receiver, who makes plays. I know he’s older and not as good as he used to be, but hasn’t he’s still led the NFL in receiving  yards since 2004? And in general, he’s loved in the locker room, at least by... Read More »

Even with the loss to Duke, Maryland seems to be on the inside looking out, as far as the Big Dance goes. Let’s assume Maryland ends up 8-8 in the ACC, beating both NC State and Virginia, but losing to Wake. That might be enough, or it might not. Here are a few teams, some... Read More »

Tonight the Harlem Globetrotters invade Cameron Indoor. OK, I guess it’s not the really the Globetrotters, but this game, one of the focal points of the NCAA men’s regular season, while being a wonderful spectacle of both coaching and player’s talent, will, in the long run, amount to nothing more than a gloried exhibition. Think about... Read More »

A Few weeks ago, I wrote a blog about ten things you would or should see in 2009. One of those things was that 2009 should be Gary Williams’ last season at Maryland. Mind you, I did say that he had been a great coach and they should build a statue for him outside of... Read More »

While I won’t do  Broadway Joe and guarantee anything, but I think these ten things should and will happen in 2009. 1.  We finally stop hearing about Donovan McNabb’s benching and his permanently fractured relationship with Andy Reid because of said benching. This, however, will only happen when McNabb stops talking about how “insulted he was”... Read More »
